Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 box lasagna noodles
• 1 container ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 jar marinara sauce
• 3 cups mixed vegetables (such as spinach, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions, but reduce cooking time by 2 minutes so they are slightly undercooked. Drain and set aside.
3. Mix ricotta cheese, egg, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl to make the cheese filling.
4. Sauté the mixed vegetables in a pan until they are cooked but still slightly crisp.
5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
6. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, then spoon half of the cheese filling over the noodles.
7. Top the cheese filling with half of the sautéed vegetables, then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetables.
8. Repeat layers of noodles, cheese filling, vegetables, and mozzarella cheese one more time.
9. Top with a final layer of noodles and the remaining marinara sauce.
10. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and cover with foil.
11. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Let the lasagna cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Verdict:

This vegetable lasagna is packed with flavor and is a great way to add some healthy vegetables to your diet.
